[Michael:] When We Played Tag In Grade School
You Wanted To Be It.
But Chasimg Boys Was Just A Fad
You Srossed Your Heart You'd Quit.

When We Grew Up You Traded
Your Promise For My Ring
Now Just Like Back In Grade School
Your Doing The Same Old Thing!

[Chorus:]
Stop! The Love You Save May Be Your Own!
Darling, Take It Slow
Or Someday You'll Be All Alone.
You'd Better Stop The Love You Save May Be Your Own!
Darling Look Both Ways Before You Cross Me
Your Headed For The Danger Zone.

[Michael:]
I'm The One Who Loves You!
I'm The One You Need!

[Jermain:]
Those Other Guys Will Put You Down
As Soon As They Succeed!

[Michael:]
They'll Ruin Your Reputation!
They'll Label You A Flirt!

[Jermain:]
The Way They Talk About You
They'll Turn Your Name To Dirt, Oh!

[Michael:]
Isaac Said He Kissed You
Beneath The Appple Tree
When Benjie Held Your Hand He Felt
E-Lec-Tri-Ci-Tee!
When Alexander Called You
He Said He Rang Your Chimes
Christopher Discovered
Your Way Ahead Of Your Times

[Chorus:]
Stop! The Love You Save May Be Your Own!
Darling, Take It Slow
Or Someday You'll Be All Alone.
You'd Better Stop The Love You Save May Be Your Own!
Darling Look Both Ways Before You Cross Me
Your Headed For The Danger Zone.
